St George's Hill men's friendly fixture 16th June.

The annual friendly men’s match against St George's Hill resulted in a win this year for St George's by 34 games. Although the weather on the day was fine, rain the previous day meant that the grass courts were out of action.

Some last minute team changes were forced upon Captains Peter Dunning and Michael Scott. The 45Club 60- Green Group team were Neil Crawford and Clive Schaller, Ian Marsh and Gary Coombes, Nigel Catlow and Brian Wood, and Kevin Ivie and Tim Stevenson. Against a very strong (and younger?) St Georges Hill team they lost by 88 games to 49. It is quite possible that the average age of the 45Club team (Green group plus Gold Group) was over 60.

The over 60 Gold group were Robin McDonagh and Robert Jamieson, Clive Raincock and Alexander Balfour, and Costas Maramenides and Barry Sayers. The team won by 42 games to 37, the 2nd placed overall pairing of Robin and Robert contributing 18 games and losing just 5.
